I heard rose’s voice and immediately woke up. «Matrisha, first day of school, don’t be late.» I quickly jumped out of bed, got dressed quickly and ran for the exit. It’s great that this house has no lift and no stairs, and the exit is right on the same floor where you live. It’s on every floor, and there are quite a few, as many as 19. I ran out into the street and immediately ran to the train station, where there was an Express called Silver Rose straight to the Best Academy. There I was, already at the Lunasha Station. And what do you think, I’m late, what a loser. On the first day of school, and to be late. At that moment I didn’t know what to do, because instead of a train, all I saw was the last carriage with a sign on the door, «Sleep less, Dopey!» I couldn’t argue with that. I remembered about the Silverisha and ran out of the station, but my rose stopped me in time to tell me that the Silver Bubble was only for inner-city travel, which meant that you could not use it to get to the Academy. Yeah, well, what am I going to do, because I might get expelled. I went back to the train station.

Rose, instead of being supportive in times of need, said «don’t worry, it’s not like you lost a cow». Who or what is this cow? «It’s an animal from Planet Gaia, it makes this ’moo’ sound.» You should have seen my face when the rose made that «moo» sound.

A train station, a lonely girl who was late for her train, and a rose who kept making fun of me.
